This aerial photograph shows a rural agricultural landscape divided into rectangular fields of varying tones, likely representing different crops or soil conditions. A winding river meanders through the center of the image, bordered by tree-lined edges and open farmland. Scattered clusters of buildings, possibly farmsteads or small settlements, appear along roadways that intersect at right angles. At the upper right, a railroad with multiple tracks is visible. The photo number “8226-81” is written in the top right corner, and the lower right bears the label “Fairchild Aerial Surveys Inc N.Y.C.”
